Valkyrie’ is about Count Claus Schenk Von Stauffenberg, the Second World War hero, who led the Operation Valkyrie assassination plot that tried to kill Adolf Hitler in 1944.

Stauffenberg planted a bomb in a briefcase near Hitler at his military headquarters in Rastenburg on July 20, 1944, but while the bomb exploded and killed several officers, Hitler himself narrowly escaped death, thanks to a large oak table in the room that saved him.

Stauffenberg was caught and executed that night at Bendlerblock, as were 7,000 other sympathizers.
